Sony Reveals PlayStation Classic

Nearly 25 years ago, the world met the PlayStation and the world was delighted to see it. It was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment and would go on to ship 100 million units worldwide. Now joining the mini-retro console game, Sony has revealed the PlayStation Classic.

Rumours of a PlayStation Classic have circulated following the release of Nintendo’s NES Classic Mini and SNES Classic Mini. The idea behind these systems is to give gamers the chance to revel in nostalgia or to experience classics for the first time. The PS Classic will come bundled with 20 quintessential titles, including Ridge Racer Type 4, Final Fantasy VII and Wild Arms. All of these games come pre-loaded on the system.

Also included with the console is an HDMI cable, a USB cable and 2 Dualshock1 controllers for local multiplayer. The console itself is about 45% smaller than the original console. It will launch on December 3rd 2018, 24 years to the day that the original console launched.
